Background: Originally from Seattle,
Washington, USA, Mr. Kerslake has been based in Taichung since 1998. With his background in East Asian Studies, Mr. Kerslake has spent the
past twenty years as a keen observer of Taiwan’s changing cultural landscape.

In
2007, Mr. Kerslake decided to combine his interests and experience in history,
culture and cycling to launch Taiwan in Cycles; the first English Language online publication to focus primarily on Taiwan’s cycling culture. The goal of this
blog was to use cycling as a medium to explore, educate, share and inspire people from
Taiwan and around the world to seek out and discover this beautiful country by bike.

Through route reviews, travelogues,
editorials, photography and essays, Mr. Kerslake has created a body of work
that has provided cyclists and non-cyclists alike with a few of the breadcrumbs
that might be helpful in crafting their own intimate memories with this land
and the people who call Taiwan home.

Over the course of his involvement with
Taiwan in Cycles, Mr. Kerslake has been cited as a reference in numerous books
and publications focusing on Taiwan’s cycling environment. These include The
Cyclist’s Bucket List by Ian Dille, Taiwan Today, Adventure Cycling Magazine,
as well as numerous international blog posts.

Moreover, Mr. Kerslake has helped dozens of
visitors edit and craft their travel plans to get the most from their
experience in Taiwan. It is through Taiwan in Cycles that Mr. Kerslake has
hoped to participate and contribute to the community of Taiwanese cyclists.
